Defense Rapid Innovation Program

Abstract

From FY 2011 thru FY 2019, the RIP has been funded through Congressional Adds. RIP funds are distributed among the Services (Army, Navy, and Air Force) and the other Defense agencies. RIP is executed via a competitive two-step process for participation in the program. Industry participants are invited to submit a three-page white paper plus a quad chart through an annual Broad Agency Announcement (BAA). Once white papers are reviewed, the highest ranking white papers are invited to submit full detailed proposals for funding consideration. In ranking white papers, preference is given to projects focusing on the Research and Engineering top 10 research priorities, the National Defense Strategy, and small businesses. Full proposals are subject to final review and the highest ranking proposals are selected for contract award. The statute for RIP defines project scope as not to exceed 24 months and $3.000 million per project.
